Elwelu rose to prominence in 2016 when he oversaw a deadly military raid on the palace of a regional king accused of leading a separatist movement. He was subsequently appointed army chief.
Uganda has arrested former deputy military chief and presidential adviser Peter Elwelu over allegations of involvement in activities aimed at destabilising the country.
Acting military spokesman Chris Magezi said Elwelu, whom he described as a “renegade” officer, was arrested on Monday evening and would be charged in court.
